A
grave threat from beyond space and time swiftly approaches the Earth —
imperiling the very nature of the entire universe! This catastrophic,
existence-ending event forces Earth’s mightiest heroes and villains to
join forces to fend off Armageddon. But amid ever-shifting alliances and
internally warring factions, will they succeed in their quest to save
all of eternity? Led by the demigod Thanos (who is admittedly not only
quite mad, but something of a continual threat himself to both Earth and
eternity), Earth’s superhumans must stand shoulder-to-shoulder to face
the most terrifying threat that they’ve ever encountered: Nothing less
than the end of all that ever was! Collecting MARVEL UNIVERSE: THE END
#1-6.

A
thousand years from now, Vance Astro, Yondu, Martinex and Charlie-27 —
the Guardians of the Galaxy — rise to retake Earth from reptilian
raiders! But they’re not just building on the heroism of past centuries —
they’re recruiting from it! Captain America, Dr. Strange, the Thing,
the Hulk and more join the star-spanning heroes in the greatest war the
future ever saw! Then, as the Guardians help a planet in turmoil
rebuild, threats rise from two other worlds: one of them living, the
other gone mad! It’s cosmic action as you like it, as the Avengers of
tomorrow face their baptism of fire! Featuring the introduction of Nikki
and the origin of Starhawk! Guest-starring the Silver Surfer!

X-Men reunite with Professor X, who asks them to help overthrow the

and Magneto team up to save the Savage Land! Then, the X-Men and
X-Factor unite to battle the Shadow King — but the price of their
victory is more than Professor X can stand! And as a new team rises from
the ashes of the old, Magneto draws a dangerous line in the sand to
protect his fellow mutants — leading to an explosive finale, and the end
of an era! Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #273-280 and ANNUAL #15,
